I thought Three-Mile Island was in Pennsylvania

So the other day, I'm on my way to teach, right? And I pull up to the building where my class is held, and I see two fire engines on the street with their lights flashing. I assumed that it was probably like a false alarm or a test or something. So I thought nothing of it.

Then, when I come home and read my email, there's this email from the college that says there was a hazardous waste spill in the refrigeration building, which is next door to the building where I teach, and that classes were cancelled in that building until further notice. They had to call in Hazmat from two hours away to clean up the spill.

I gotta say, I've never heard of anything like that happening on a college campus before. Okay, so it wasn't Three-mile Island--it was probably like refrigeration coolant or something like that--but anything that requires cordoning off the building and calling in the people in white suits can't be all that good.
